Influenza A Wastewater Monitoring in the U.S.

Nationally, the wastewater viral activity level for influenza A is currently very low. See influenza A data for your state/territory and county


On This Page
Wastewater monitoring can detect viruses spreading from one person to another within a community earlier than clinical testing and before people who are sick go to their doctor or hospital. It can also detect infections without symptoms. If you see increased wastewater viral activity levels, it might indicate that there is a higher risk of infection. See how to protect yourself from respiratory viruses.

Wastewater data are updated every Friday with the previous week’s data, which allows for data to be reviewed for accuracy. Data may change as more reports are received.

What Does this Data Mean?


Situational Summary
  • The ongoing avian influenza A (H5) (bird flu) outbreak in U.S dairy cows and poultry may be contributing to the moderate and high influenza (flu) A virus wastewater levels in some jurisdictions, based on reviewing multiple data sources. The risk to the public of avian influenza A (H5) is currently low.
  • Wastewater data for influenza A virus should be considered in combination with clinical sources of influenza A data.
  • Influenza A viruses include subtypes like avian influenza A(H5) virus and A(H1N1). Wastewater testing for overall influenza A virus cannot tell us what subtypes are present. Wastewater testing cannot tell us if the source of the influenza A virus is from humans, animals, or animal products.
  • Wastewater testing for influenza virus subtypes, including an H5 subtype, is underway across the United States. See Wastewater Data for Avian Influenza A(H5) for more information.
  • CDC and public health partners continue to investigate whether changing levels of influenza A virus in wastewater are related to seasonal influenza, the avian influenza A (H5) outbreak in animals, or both.


About the Wastewater Viral Activity Level: The wastewater viral activity level indicates whether the amount of virus in the wastewater is very low, low, moderate, high, or very high. The wastewater viral activity levels may indicate the risk of infection in an area. The wastewater viral activity levels are categorized as follows:
  • Up to 1.6 – Very Low
  • Greater than 1.6 and up to 4.5 – Low
  • Greater than 4.5 and up to 12.2 – Moderate
  • Greater than 12.2 and up to 20.1 – High
  • Greater than 20.1 – Very High
National data represent the median values across all wastewater treatment plants. To learn more on how the wastewater viral activity level is calculated, see Data Methods.

Data Limitations: Wastewater data cannot determine the source of influenza A viruses. Detections could come from a human or from an animal (like a bird) or an animal product (like milk from an infected cow).

About the Wastewater Viral Activity Level: The wastewater viral activity level indicates whether the amount of virus in the wastewater is very low, low, moderate, high, or very high. The wastewater viral activity levels may indicate the risk of infection in an area. The wastewater viral activity levels are categorized as follows:
  • Up to 2.7 – Very Low
  • Greater than 2.7 and up to 6.2 – Low
  • Greater than 6.2 and up to 11.2 – Moderate
  • Greater than 11.2 and up to 17.6 – High
  • Greater than 17.6 – Very High
To learn more on how the wastewater viral activity level is calculated, visit CDC’s Wastewater Surveillance Data Methodology page.

Regions: States and territories are grouped into the following U.S Census Bureau regions:
  • West: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming (N=14)
  • Midwest: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin (N=12)

  • South: Arkansas, Alabama, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia (N=17)
No Data: States or territories without sufficient data to estimate the wastewater viral activity level for the previous week are indicated as “No Data.” A label of “No Data” means that either:
  • No data were reported this week from sites within the state or territory
  • Data were reported this week, but sites within the state or territory do not have enough data (at least 8 weeks with consistent methodology) to estimate the wastewater viral activity level in the last week.
Limited Coverage: States or territories with limited coverage means that data for the most recent week are based on a small part (less than 5%) of the population and may not represent viral activity levels for the entire state or territory.

Data Limitations: Wastewater data cannot determine the source of influenza A viruses. Detections could come from a human or from an animal (like a bird) or an animal product (like milk from an infected cow).

  • West: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming (N=14)
  • Midwest: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin (N=12)
  • Northeast: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Vermont (N=10)
  • South: Arkansas, Alabama, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia (N=17)
No Data: States or territories without sufficient data to estimate the wastewater viral activity level for the previous week are indicated as “No Data.” A label of “No Data” means that either:
  • No data were reported this week from sites within the state or territory
  • Data were reported this week, but sites within the state or territory do not have enough data (at least 8 weeks with consistent methodology) to estimate the wastewater viral activity level in the last week.
Limited Coverage: States or territories with limited coverage means that data for the most recent week are based on a small part (less than 5%) of the population and may not represent viral activity levels for the entire state or territory.

Data Limitations: Wastewater data cannot determine the source of influenza A viruses. Detections could come from a human or from an animal (like a bird) or an animal product (like milk from an infected cow).

Influenza A Wastewater Monitoring in the U.S.

Nationally, the wastewater viral activity level for influenza A is currently very low.

Region with the highest wastewater viral activity level for influenza A:
NA


On This Page
Wastewater monitoring can detect viruses spreading from one person to another within a community earlier than clinical testing and before people who are sick go to their doctor or hospital. It can also detect infections without symptoms. If you see increased wastewater viral activity levels, it might indicate that there is a higher risk of infection. See how to protect yourself from respiratory viruses.

Wastewater data are updated every Friday with the previous week’s data, which allows for data to be reviewed for accuracy. Data may change as more reports are received.

About the Wastewater Viral Activity Level: The wastewater viral activity level indicates whether the amount of virus in the wastewater is very low, low, moderate, high, or very high. The wastewater viral activity levels may indicate the risk of infection in an area. The wastewater viral activity levels are categorized as follows:
  • Up to 2.7 – Very Low
  • Greater than 2.7 and up to 6.2 – Low
  • Greater than 6.2 and up to 11.2 – Moderate
  • Greater than 11.2 and up to 17.6 – High
  • Greater than 17.6 – Very High
To learn more on how the wastewater viral activity level is calculated, visit CDC’s Wastewater Surveillance Data Methodology page.

Regions: States and territories are grouped into the following U.S Census Bureau regions:
  • West: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming (N=14)
